Wolf hunt /
Petrov, Ivaĭlo
Wolf hunt / Ivaĭlo Petrov, translated from the Bulgarian by Angela Rodel. - 581 pages ; 19 cm.
Wolf Hunt was the first novel to portray the human cost of Communist policies on Bulgarian villagers, forced by the government to abandon their land and traditional way of life. Darkly comic and tragic, the novel centres on an ill-fated winter hunting expedition of six neighbors whose history together is long and interwoven. The ensuing story takes the reader on a voyage of shifting perspectives that places the calamitous history of 20th-century Bulgaria into a human context of helplessness and desperation.
